Amazon S3

Overview

Amazon S3 is the backbone of media storage for most OTT platforms. The S3 plugin lets your workflows interact directly with S3 buckets — upload transcoded assets, download source files, list contents, sync between buckets, and manage lifecycle policies.

When to Use This

Use the S3 plugin as a trigger (new file lands in bucket), as a mid-workflow step (move assets between stages), or as a final action (publish to distribution bucket). It pairs naturally with MediaConvert for transcoding pipelines and with the CMS plugin for metadata sync.
